It's amazing how much Connect has improved. I found it virtually unusable at the beginning. Now I can't imagine using Lemmy without it*. No ads, no selling of data, and a highly customisable app that does what it says it does.
*I have not been paid to say this. Just a happy user.
I believe a demented aunt might have been involved with mine too.
According to my ex-, her.
If the other person is arguing in good faith, I'll listen and exchange views until that becomes pointless. If the other person is loaded with an opinion and won't listen to anything different, I basically shut down and leave them hanging.
I get what you mean. But I just spread my net wider. Give more communities a chance, and unsubscribe from the ones that aren't what I'm looking for. It's frustrating, but it will improve. And it's better than dealing with reddit.
I worked in rail for a bit, and almost got hit once. Saw many many near misses. People think "how could you not notice a train roaring towards you?!". But these things can happen with alarming ease.
I looked out my window and saw what looked to be a piece of plastic falling out of a tree, onto the ground. Then it started crawling. When I saw it was a bat, I called the wildlife people and they caught it in a net. Poor guy looked beat up, and was very dehydrated. The wildlife people gave electrolytes and took it away for further treatment and rehabilitation.
Here are some more pics.
I have 2 more pics but Lemmy isn't letting me upload them. I'll try to upload them in a reply.
I can't imagine that being my default. It was infuriating enough just once!
That makes sense. There was a brief period that we actually got along, joked around etc. That was cool. Then it went back to the grinding awkwardness.
As in, hook up with the person? Haha no that didn't happen. I thought the same as you, probably for the best.
Are you really the head of the Kwik-E-Mart?
I spent a month getting an instance set up on .world, wearing my account in, putting up with the lag and other constant problems... then I read about this threads™ nonsense and how .world were playing a "wait and see" game with an evil empire. Read this thread (heh!), moved to .ml. Much smoother and more glitch-free experience. Just have to start over again. So far so good!
I just made a surprisingly tasty mango rice dish. I'm a pretty ordinary cook so I'm very happy with the result!
